Obvious attempt to derail gold.............from Rico
Look at this chart and say to yourself "this is a normal trading action." [keeping a straight face]
At such a size, at such an unusual hour, no sane trader would do such a thing...only a fool or a Central Banker(s) would be this incompetent.
No, despite the 'spin' already gathering this is a blatant attempt to convince us that prettily-engraved slips of paper have value, while the yellow metal does not (and that Benny and his colleagues actually know what they are doing; all is well, move along, nothing to see here schnooks...).
Riiiiiight.
And it's purely coincidence that the Swiss national Bank just acted to remove itself as a safe haven and 'cap' the Swissie* to prop up a dying Euro, and the Teleprompter of the US is scheduled to 'read' us his plan [yawn] to......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Liberal Jews Put Distance Between Themselves & Israel...............by Dan Friedman
Irony. Just as the door slammed shut on the liberal takeover of American Jewish organizations, along came the Arab spring to render their putsch irrelevant. Upheaval in the Middle East has caused an upheaval in Israelis’ thinking. They’re now in the process of re-evaluating their most precious shibboleths while the empty suits in New York are still stuck on stupid promoting damaged goods, Obama and “land for peace.” The upshot? Left-liberal American Jews – big stakeholders in Israel’s Left – are lagging behind the dynamic changes evolving in Israel’s ideology and becoming disconnected from the future of Israel’s politics. Before you know it they’ll be playing catch-up, but by then Jewish history will have passed them by.
